Featured Warwickshire Restaurants
1. The Castle at Edgehill
British, Modern restaurant in Edgehill
Main Street - OX15
“Fantastic views” over the Warwickshire countryside (and a famous battleground from the English Civil War) from an “interesting building” are an immediate draw at this cosy, picture-book castle – a pub since 1822 and built 100 years earlier. Service is “friendly” and the “competent” gastropub menu majors in a selection of steaks and burgers.
2. Sabai Sabai
Thai restaurant in Stratford upon Avon
19-20 Wood Street - CV37
Brum’s popular Thai mini-chain established this Stratford spin-off three years ago, and its consistent food rating is in line with its siblings. “Charming staff” also received a particular thumbs up last year.
3. Lambs
British, Modern restaurant in Stratford upon Avon
12 Sheep Street - CV37
Occupying “a beautiful old building” – one of Stratford’s oldest – this beamed venue remains most often nominated as “a fantastic place for pre-theatre dinner: consistent quality with a great-value set menu”.
4. The Fuzzy Duck
British, Modern restaurant in Armscote
Ilmington Road - CV37
Cosy, modernised pub, near Stratford-upon-Avon, that’s consistently well-rated (if on limited feedback) for its ‘Contemporary Cotswolds’ cooking: traditional pub dishes like chicken ’n’ chips, complemented by slightly more ambitious seasonal items.
5. Loxleys
British, Traditional restaurant in Stratford upon Avon
3 Sheep St - CV37
“One of the better pre-theatre places in Stratford” – this smart, two-floor, former clothes shop is barely a three-minute walk from the RSC. Even a reporter who felt the food was “nothing special” says “everything turned out well for a pleasant evening”.
6. The Opposition
British, Modern restaurant in Stratford upon Avon
13 Sheep Street - CV37
2019 Review: Just around the corner from the RSC, this long-serving bistro with “Tudor-type” decor is “THE place to eat in Stratford if you’re going to the theatre – they put you through with speed (but don’t make you feel hassled)”, the food is “reliable (if not exciting)”, while “staff are helpful (but not obsequious)”. “What more does anyone want before a dollop of Shakespeare?”
7. The Bridge
British, Modern restaurant in Bidford On Avon
55 High Street - B50
2019 Review: “A great terrace and riverside setting” is the crown jewel feature of this riverside eatery, on the banks of the Avon. Char-grilled steaks are the headline attractions of an “enjoyable” modern bistro menu.
8. The Stag At Offchurch
British, Traditional restaurant in Offchurch
Welsh Road - CV33
2018 Review: This “pleasant gastropub” (part of the CD Pub Co) occupies a thatched property not far from Leamington Spa, and serves a well-rated menu rated from traditional pub grub to a selection of dry-aged steaks.
9. Baraset Barn
British, Modern restaurant in Alveston
Pimlico Lane - CV37
This “exceptional” venue – part 200-year-old country pub, part contemporary brasserie – has an eclectic menu of global dishes and is “always super value for a leisurely lunch”. It “now has very good rooms for overnighters”.
10. The Crabmill
Mediterranean restaurant in Preston Bagot
“Much improved by a change of owners” (the all-conquering Brunning & Price), this seventeenth century pub in “beautiful surroundings” – a hamlet “out in Warwickshire’s lush countryside” – wins applause for “upmarket pub food at a reasonable price point”, and which comes “allied to lovely service” to boot.
